Upon arrival, we visit the iconic landmarks within the city, including the Royal Palace of Morocco, the Mausoleum of Mohammed V, the Hassan Tower, and Kasbah of the Udayas, admiring the beauty of the architecture. In the afternoon, we proceed to Chefchaouen, known as the Blue City. Built against the mountains, the locals have painted everything - doors, steps, stairs, window sills, flower stands, mailboxes, and every visible surface - in different shades of blue, creating a dreamlike atmosphere. Chefchaouen, the Blue City is situated on the hillside. Some hotels may not be accessible by large buses and may require a 10-minute walk. Accommodation is in the vicinity of this mountain town.
